cell organelles under tem
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1—Nucleus:
largest organelle
surrounded by a nuclear membrane
houses nearly all genetic material
contains chromatin which condenses into chromosomes during cell division
contains the nucleolus which produces RNA and ribosomes - 2—Rough endoplasmic reticulum:
Has ribosomes on it
Transports the proteins synthesised by the ribosomes
Made of flattened, membrane-bound sacs called cisternae
- 3—Golgi Apparatus:
Modifies proteins and packages them off into vesicles for secretion
- 4—Mitochondrion:
inner membrane folds into the cristae
produces most of the adenosine triphosphate during respiration
- 5—Chloroplasts:
in plant cells and some protocists
2 membranes separated with a fluid filled space
inner membrane is continuous
contains stacks of thylakoids (granas)
chlorophyll present on the thylakoid membranes and intergranal membranes
- 6—Lysosomes:
contain digestive enzymes
break down materials
sperm acrosome helps break down the surface of the ovum, allowing it to pass through
- 7—Ribosomes:
site for protein synthesis
consists of 2 sub-units
- 8—Centriole (top):
forms fibres known as a spindle - which move chromosomes during nuclear division
